Hart Neighbourhood Centre in Hook runs an accredited Healthy Walks Scheme which is part of the ‘Walking the way to Health Initiative’. This is a joint venture between Natural England and the British Heart Foundation.

Health walks are aimed at people who would like to walk at a gentle pace in a safe and social setting.  We encourage people who may be rehabilitating after an illness, who would like to begin to take gentle exercise or who feel they would like to meet people.

We provide short walks for those who are less able and everyone can walk at their own pace. 

The walks are approximately 40 minutes long, are led by trained walk leaders, and require no specialist walking clothes. At the end of the walk there are refreshments and a chance for a chat.

One of our regular walkers says, “I try to go to both the Hook and Odiham walks as I thoroughly enjoy them.  Although I suffer from a bad knee, I am still able to do the full walks, although a shorter walk is always possible instead.  It is an enjoyable couple of hours, and a chance to meet people”
